Another Leuven Update

Despite delays – I am told all renovation projects are delayed for one reason or another – the kitchen has finally been installed. And let me tell you… it looks like the deck of the Starship Enterprise!

We have bought the lights and are actively looking for furniture. I am also looking at coffee machines and perhaps a Chai tea machine.

In summary, we are now looking to a January opening. And I honestly can’t wait. It hasn’t been an easy project, but we have learned a lot. Whether we apply these learnings to other new restaurants remains to be seen. For the time being, however, I just want to focus on my first baby, the La Hulpe location, and my new baby, the Leuven location.

For those of you who are curious, we see Leuven as a daytime affair. From 10h00 to 15h30. To start with. And La Hulpe will remain our evening dining place. This leaves the question of Sunday Brunch. Where will we host our Sunday Brunch? I’m still working on this question.

Looking further down the line, we would like Leuven to become an all day and evening restaurant.

If you want to have a look at the restaurant in Leuven, it’s Parijsstraat 38. And looks more like someone’s home from the outside. Which is completely in line with how we cook.

I hope my next update will be to share our opening date. In the meantime, all good things to those who wait!’
